With respect to TomBradley72 and his 2013 vs 1970 thread (which reminds me of various comparison pieces the Trib used to run in seasons of contention)I decided to point out this fact in a separate thread.

As terrible as the 1970 team was {Their only winning pitcher was 1-0) it wasn't the worst team in terms of winning percentage.

The 1970 team went 56-106 for a .346 percentage

The 1932 Sox went 49-102 for a .318 percentage

To post a worse percentage than 1932 over a full season, the Sox would have to go 51-111 for a .315 percentage.

They started the dive too late. You can't be .500 in late May if you want to achieve that kind of notoriety. They needed to commit to full out tank mode in early April if they wanted to win less than 50 games...

The Sox traded Berry and Aparicio after the 1970 season, I believe.
It's looking more and more like we're going to have to move some players we don't want to move like Santiago, Quintana, Reed, etc. if we want to remake this roster.

But, just last week Hawk kept reminding everyone that the Sox still had 19 games with Detroit.
I had to laugh, did he really expect the sky to open and a ray come from the heavens go into the Sox dugout and turn **** into gold?
